Joshua has $4,200 to invest for college. If Joshua invests $4,200 for 3 years and earns $630, what is the simple interest rate? Joshua's goal is to have $5,000 after 4 years. Is this possible if he invests with a rate of return of 6%? Explain.

Yes it's possible for Joshua to meet his goal of having $5,000 after 4 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Joshua has $4,200 to invest for college which he invests $4,200 for 3 years and earns $630.

Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

630 = (4200 × R × 3)/100

630 = 12600R/100

12600R = 630 × 100

12600R = 63000

Interest rate =63000/12600 = 5%

Joshua's goal is to have $5,000 after 4 years. Is this possible if he invests with a rate of return of 6%?

Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

Interest = (4200 × 6 × 4)/100

= 100800/100

= $1008

At the end of 4 years, Joshua will have:

= $4200 + $1008

= $5208

Yes it's possible.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
